Workload management

Delivering fairness and consistency across the workload of hundreds, maybe thousands of academics in dozens of different roles and environments is extremely challenging.

Countless conversations, endless activity lists, constantly shifting goalposts. But getting it right can have a huge impact on everything from individual motivation to organisation performance, and even to student experience. You need to be able to:

Manage large amounts of information effectively in one place

Share your thoughts, compare your options, keep tabs on your progress

Respond easily to short-term changes in requirements

Optimise the quality of work through matching the organisations needs with individual capabilities and needs

Deliver effective and efficient allocation of work that meets internal and external standards

"The unique rules-based engine in WAMS means that we can easily create and manage the underlying calculations ourselves. It deals with the complexities of our policy and the diversity of our workloads in a simple, user-friendly way, including a tailored approach to meeting each Faculty's needs.​"

Simitive WAMS

Simitive WAMS (Workload Allocation Management System) is an evolution of the University of the West of England's HEFCE and Leadership Foundation funded solution:

It is a comprehensive planning and reporting tool - and, perhaps most importantly, a proven communication platform that will manage the process of delivering your workload model fairly to each and every individual.

It enables the centralised creation and management of tariffs and activity types, with options to delegate local control as appropriate.
